The scandal involving Harvey Weinstein’s history of sexual assault allegations and his eventual dismissal from his own company ignited quite the discussion over the weekend.

Jimmy Kimmel had quite a Saturday.

"I went and got a flu shot at a Walmart...and I got in a fight with the President's son on Twitter, so just a normal, regular, usual weekend," the Jimmy Kimmel Live host joked during his monologue on Monday's show.

Kimmel was alluding to his Twitter spat with Donald Trump Jr, which began with the late night host criticizing the president. Trump Jr. responded by calling out Kimmel over the Weinstein scandal, suggesting Kimmel's show wouldn't cover the movie producer's harassment claims because Weinstein is a Democrat.

"The insinuation was that we as part of the biased left-wing media propaganda machine wouldn't say anything about him because he's a Democrat," Kimmel said about Weinstein. "Never mind the thousands of jokes about Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton and all the other Bills of that ilk."

"Harvey Weinstein was a Clinton supporter, and listen, it's true," he continued. "I'm not defending Hillary Clinton. Fact is, her campaign did take money from what turned out to be a high-profile man who's been accused of sexual harassment multiple times. And not just one of them, by the way. She took money from two of them: Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump, who donated to Hillary's campaign in 2008."

Kimmel then flashed photos onscreen of Clinton standing with both Weinstein and Trump, laying into the president's many harassment claims.

"So anyway, note to DJTJ, next time you're defending your father and you think it's a good idea to draw a comparison between him and a freshly accused sexual predator? Don't. It doesn't help."

Kimmel also brought up Trump's Access Hollywood tape, on air and in his Twitter exchange, pointing out that Oct. 7 was the one-year anniversary of the tape being made public.
